If you are looking for yet more information from other Tormach owners, allow to add my two cents.
The truth is I could not have afforded to purchase this machine new. By pure luck (and I kiss the Universe every time I come to realize how lucky I was), I was able to find an used PCNC1100. Do note it is not fair to call this machine used as it had been in essence turned ON once. I tell you, I was VERY LUCKY!
Since then all I have experienced are orgasmic scenarios. The machine is beyond amazing! The day before I had the machine I was the lousiest machinist on the planet. Shortly after that I became the lousiest machinist on the planet with output that looks like I know what I am doing. It is the machine, of course! Before, no mechanical contraption would work. Today, pretty much every single item I build works so well, I have a very hard time believing it came from my own doing. Then again, it is the machine and the system. They are extremely well built and what it delivers is just out of this world!
You will find people all over the place, though. Some individuals would want the PCNC1100 to behave like a multi million dollar mill. It isn't. But, do you want to build Space Shuttle technology parts? Anyway, most of these folks will tell you the machine is junk. It isn't!
You may want to scour the CL for an used machine. They are hard to come by but they do show up every now and then. Especially from people who have grown their business so much, they go for a VMC. Or you can spend the big bucks. Do be certain your business case can support such an expense, or you are wealthy enough not to lament such a transaction. I had to go out of my ways to get mine, and haven't lamented the move not even once! I didn't pay $17.5K, though...
